(ECNS) -- A roughly 600-square-meter swimming pool in Haoling Village, Yingtan City, east China's Jiangxi Province, has become a favorite summer destination for children from nearby villages.
The pool, with a depth of 1 to 1.6 meters, is open free of charge from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. every day during the summer. A safety attendant is on duty, while village officials take turns to patrol the area for children's safety.
A Haoling Village official said the free pool was built to prevent children from swimming in open water, reducing the risk of drowning, adding that it is a small but practical thing the village Party branch has done for local residents.
According to Xinhua news, the pool was built two years ago. Pool water is drawn from Baita canal and later discharged into farmland for irrigation, allowing the water to be reused.
The pool is open for more than two months each summer. Since videos of the pool went viral, children from surrounding villages have flocked to the pool, with some parents even bringing their children from the city about 20 kilometers away.
